Final answer:

Freud's five sexual stages in order from birth to puberty are: oral, phallic, latency, and genital.

Step-by-step explanation:

Freud's five sexual stages in order from birth to puberty are:

  1. Oral stage: Pleasure is focused on the mouth, such as sucking and eating.
  2. Phallic stage: Pleasure is focused on the genitals and children become aware of their bodies and recognize gender differences.
  3. Latency period: A period between 6 years and puberty where sexual feelings are dormant and children focus on other pursuits.
  4. Genital stage: Begins at puberty, with a sexual reawakening and redirection of incestuous urges to other socially acceptable partners.
